Sky Sports Friday Fight Night (Munroe vs. Terrazas) RBR

Round 8

Terazzas tries to stand his ground, whipping a right hand around Munroe's rear glove and then flurrying out a few straighter armpunches, mostly smoke and mirrors. He doesn't seem to have a lot of snap left on most of what he's throwing now. Munroe bullies him back into the ropes once more and goes to work, leaning on the top of the crouching Terazzas's head with his forearms and elbows and swinging power punches into his exposed middle from either side. The ref calls for a break, they return to center ring and Munroe takes it right back to the adjacent ropes. Another break, and Munroe pounds a now shelled-up and crouching but unrespondent Terazzas back into the ropes. The pattern continues. Nothing coming back from the Mexican at this point. Very dominant Munroe round.

10-9 Munroe
76 points all, with the tide decisively turned.

 

Round 9

Munroe comes out with a reckless lead uppercut - no regard for Terazzas' firepower at all. He envelops Terazzas' upper body within his wingspan and wrestles him to the ropes where he's had so much success. Terazzas goes down from sheer accumulation of body punishment and beats the count with a couple of seconds but looks deflated and glances helplessly at his corner while the ref asks him to present his gloves and walk to him. The ref shakes his head - TKO9 win for Munroe

 

Tony Jeffries vs. Nathan King

6 rounds, super middlweights

Round 1

Jeffries comes out reaching with jab/cross combinations. King turning over shorter, curved shots with power and clipping Jeffries on the way in. Jeffries calms down a bit and begins to jab from outside, fighting tall. They trade jabs and both land on the kisser. Neither giving or gaining ground. They size each other up and the action fizzles in the center of the ring. A clinch at the end of the round sees King try a bit harder to work his hands.

10-9 King.

 

Round 2

Jeffries' jab a little more consistently accurate now. He stays at a distance, preserving his considerable height advantage. When both go on the offensive it results in a tie-up thanks to Jeffries' long arms and their contrasting body types. Jeffries is landing right hands before tying up.

10-9 Jeffries

19 all.

 

Round 3 - ??

Round 4 - ??

Sky just skipped two rounds of this apparently previously recorded bout. :?

Round 5

It's still mostly ugly action with a lot of misses and shots landing behind the neck (resulting in automatic tie-ups). A big right hand buckles Jeffries' legs as he comes in on King. King tries to finish and Jeffries wraps him up.

King round. Unfortunately, I have no idea what happened in 3 & 4...

Between 1, 2, and 5 King is up 2-1 on my scorecard. :conf

 

Round 6

King forcefully slapping shots at Jeffries, who's trying to reassert his jab but looks tired. More right hands land from King. They each miss right hands and King winds up with Jeffries in a headlock. Jeffries tries to mount a sequence of punches but King interrupts him with a right hand flush to the face. They tie up and slap each other's sides, King with a bit more determination.

King won that round, so unless he got knocked down in the third or fourth, this should be no worse than a draw for him.

 

The referee (rather than a judges' panel) scores it 59-56 for Jeffries.
